Rambling

[misstheboat]

I don't seem to be able to say anything worthwhile, lately! This happens every time I decide I'll be serious about writing frequently. Nothing happens, I have no opinions and no thoughts.

I have just noticed though, that when I do the wrong thing online, I always feel really stupid, like whoever owns the website can see the stupid thing I just did. For example, I just hit "log out" instead of something in my favourites above it. And I thought the website was laughing at me. :(

So I'll just do some lists.

Best books I read this year.

Miriam Toews - A Complicated Kindness
Frances Hardinge - Fly By Night
Jane Austen - Pride and Prejudice
Sarah Vowell - The Partly-Cloudy Patriot
Jaclyn Moriarty - Becoming Bindy Mackenzie

Best books I read this year that I would never put in the official list.

Megan McCafferty - Sloppy Firsts

Even I was all snobby about the title. But it actually rocked. I wish I had read it when I was an actual teenager.

Worst book to read in the bus queue

Scott Westerfeld - Specials

See here as to why. Different covers in the US, apparently.

Music I liked a lot that I discovered this year.

Tilly and the Wall
Tegan and Sara
Was regina spektor this year or last year?
Neko Case
Thea Gilmore

I've got distracted.
